79. This is actually true. A member of my family retired in his 50's from law enforcement.

He was constantly working overtime and retired with a terrific annual pension (high $60's) and free medical care for life.

Add in that he now has social security.......not bad.

HOWEVER, a pension is not something that we necessarily want to start taking away for various reasons. If it was earned under the guidelines of their employment it is theirs to keep. Otherwise there will be a bunch of greedy corporations pulling the rugs out from under people whenever it suits them. Yes, he should have acted. What other rules will follow to allow them to take a pension?
